FRANCE UNDER FIRE: Monster Wildfire 15km From Bordeaux, France Orders Mass Evacuations!

Emergency response teams used heavy bulldozers and excavators to carve a 200-meter-wide firebreak near Cestas on Sunday as a monster wildfire scorched over 42,000 hectares across France's Gironde department and pushed within 15 kilometers of Bordeaux's city center. Nearly 220,000 people have been evacuated from their homes as more than 2,500 firefighters, supported by military personnel, 18 water-bombing aircraft, and European reinforcements, battled shifting winds that caused spot fires to jump more than 100 meters ahead of the main fire front. While thousands of displaced residents remain housed in emergency shelters, including Bordeaux's exhibition center, Mayor Thomas Cazenave confirmed that a full evacuation of the city is not currently under way, though authorities remain prepared for all scenarios as high temperatures and dry terrain prolong the response effort.
